I ordered 3 tonique soaps and they lasted for approximately two weeks. The soaps are small and they do smell good but sad to say I didn't see much difference at all.
I am waiting on the arrival of my fair and flawless soaps. They are 7 ounces so they should go far. I don't like to order the cream until I see how the soap works first. Tonique was indeed a disappointment.

I've used Kojic Acid soap, exfoliating/peeling yes. Lightening? Nope.
I'm not sure if lightening soaps work, an ingredient would have to be left on the skin for a fair amount of time to lighten but cleansing your skin happens so quick. How can it lighten?

I look at lightening soaps as more of a pre-treatment to prepare the skin for the cream, they probably work better together.

The soaps are about 3 to four ounces, it smells good and lathers well. Its a good exfoliater but I guess I was expecting more whitening.

It would have been more beneficial if their sizes were double in size, in order for them to last longer and 7-8 oz being the average standard size amount for soap. Who knows, maybe they'll up their sizes one day.. lol.

But, all of the "lightening" soaps that I have used do not actually lighten, but rather only exfoliate the skin, help even and tone, and remove acne. And I had to let the suds sit on my skin for a minute until dry, and then rinse in order for me to receive any results. The exfoliation then allows the skin lightener to penetrate deeper into the pores, thus having a lighter shade sooner. So, its best if an exfoliator and effective lightener together are used for best results.

In my experience sometimes the soap does lighten. When I used BioClaire soap alone it lightened my skin. Then I used glutathione soap and it lightened me on its own. I do believe that using the cream and soap together will give better results but as for tonique some lightening should have occurred. Hopefully the fair and flawless will work. Their soap is 7 big ounces for the same price as the Tonique so wishing for the best.
Golden_girl, what do you use?

Right now I have been using hq 4%/ra along with likas papaya soap, so far I have lightened really well. But, I'm considering switching up my regimen soon later this month to hq 3%, rq, and some other actives. That's good that several of the soaps have worked for you, may I ask is your ethnicity asian or spanish? I've read members who are naturally fairer have a better chance with lightening soap. I'm brown skin, which is most likely why lightening results are more challenging with soaps but I still like the other effects they have. The bio claire soap lightens skin due to the steroid contamination they do not have listed.
